A taxi driver who argued with a group of women on a hen party after one of them was sick in his cab broke down in tears as he was found guilty of speeding off and causing injury to one of the women involved.

Muhammed Rahman, of Mowbray Road in Cambridge, denied driving without due care and attention and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.

The 59-year-old was found guilty of all charges after a three hour trial at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Rahman was handed nine points on his licence, and ordered to pay £600 in fines and £620 in court costs.

The incident took place in the early hours of May 29 last year after Rahman had taken some of the women to a Travelodge hotel on Newmarket Road in Cambridge.

Corinne Saunders-Silk, prosecuting, said the victim in the case had been on her sister's hen party in Cambridge with 13 others and had left Kuda nightclub before trying to hail a taxi at about 2am.

Rahman claimed that two taxis in the queue refused to take three of the women back to their hotel because they were 'too drunk'.

He told magistrates that he decided to help out the women as he knew no other taxi drivers would do so.

Rahman claimed he told the women if any of them were sick in his taxi they would have to pay an £80 fine, to which the women agreed.

However when the women reached the hotel, an argument began after Rahman asked them to pay the £80 cleaning fee because one in the group had vomited 'everywhere' in the taxi half way through the journey.
